Ron DeSantis' Weaponization of the Government Against Political Opponents is a Massive Concern
The Florida Governor's weaponization of the government against Disney should be a concern for principled conservatives. Is this really what we want from a potential GOP presidential nominee?
Disney’s extreme pushing of their Woke ideology over the last few years has been so concerning that parents across the country have stopped allowing their children to watch their films or visit their theme parks. While they’ve been a Lefty company for years, decades even, under former CEO Bob Chapek they hurtled into extreme wokeism.
When Bob Iger returned as CEO after the Chapek debacle, many assumed that he’d go back to his more moderate handling of divisive issues. Historically, he would want to be as inclusive as possible, and that included towards conservatives. He was even a part of a committee for President Donald Trump for a period of time during his presidency.
The problem is that Iger hasn’t done much to reverse course since he’s retaken his role as CEO of the Walt Disney Company. While they’ve been more tame in their Public Relations and public statements, they’re continuing to push woke agendas in their films and shows on Disney+, as well as announcing their first Gay Pride night at Disneyland.
This has made it easy for conservatives and parents in general to voice their concerns with Disney, boycott the company or even just be more intentional with which Disney films their children are allowed to watch. This is definitely not the Disney Company of old that promoted a pro-America worldview.
So when Florida Governor and 2024 Presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis decided to take on the Mouse’s House, many on the Right cheered. Finally, someone would stand up to one of these Big Woke Companies that are targeting our kids with this Leftist propaganda!
When you take an “Us vs Them” approach to everything, the ends begin to justify the means. My concern is precedent this will set for the future of both the Republican Party and the United States of America in general.
